Psalms 94

A psalm to David; fourth of Sabbath.

94:1The God of acts of vengeance. The lord God of acts of vengeance spoke openly.

94:2Rise up high, O one judging the earth! Render recompense to the proud!

94:3For how long sinners, O lord, how long shall sinners boast?

94:4They will utter and speak injustice; all the ones practicing iniquity shall speak.

94:5Your people, O lord, they humbled; and they inflicted evil on your inheritance.

94:6The widow and orphan they killed; and the foreigner they murdered.

94:7And they said, the lord shall not see, nor shall the God of Jacob perceive.

94:8Perceive indeed foolish among the people! and O moron, think at some time or other!

94:9The one planting the ear, does he not hear? or the one shaping the eye, does he not contemplate?

94:10The one correcting nations, shall he not reprove? The one teaching man knowledge;

94:11the lord, he knows the thoughts of men, for they are vain.

94:12Blessed is a man whom ever you should correct, O lord, and from out of your law you should teach him;

94:13to calm him from evil days, until of which time he should have dug the pit for the sinner.

94:14For the lord shall not thrust away his people, and he shall not abandon his inheritance;

94:15until of which time righteousness returns for judgment, and having it are all the straight in heart. PAUSE.

94:16Who shall rise up to me against the ones acting wickedly? or who shall stand up with me against the ones working lawlessness?

94:17Unless that the lord helped me, my soul would shortly have sojourned in Hades.

94:18If I said, My foot shakes; your mercy, O lord, helps me.

94:19According to the multitude of my griefs in my heart, so your comforts made glad my soul.

94:20Shall the throne of lawlessness adhere with you, the one shaping trouble out of order?

94:21They shall hunt for a just soul, and condemn innocent blood.

94:22But the lord became to me for a refuge; and my God for a helper of my hope.

94:23And he shall recompense to them their lawlessness; and according to their wickedness The lord God shall remove them from view.
